Huddersfield Town and West Yorkshire police are investigating claims that Leeds United fans were the subject of antisemitic chants during Saturday's match at the John Smith's Stadium.

In a statement, the police said nothing had been brought to their attention during the event but that they were working with the club to establish whether chanting of a "racial" nature had taken place.

Superintendent Dave Lunn said: "This was a successful policing operation of a local derby, which saw only four arrests for public order offences.

"Our priority was around achieving a safe and enjoyable match for all those attending, both prior to and following the event.

"We worked closely with the club to achieve this outcome. I would therefore like to thank the fans for their behaviour throughout, in particular their patience in relation to exit arrangements from the ground."

Huddersfield's investigation comes just days after West Ham banned a season ticket holder for making an antisemitic gesture during a match against Tottenham Hotspur while their were claims that Spurs fans were subjected to similar abuse in their Europa League match away to Lazio.
